Useful Hints in Cooking Apples and Veggies
Practical kitchen tips cover apples asparagus carrots celery and cheese. Notes include preventing apple discoloration by cold water, keeping baked apples tender with covered baking, sharpening asparagus with cold water soak, cooking celery slowly with little salt, drying celery tops for flavoring, and cheese preservation with a vinegar cloth wrap and a potato to clean the grater.
Baking Potatoes Tips From The Kitchen
When potatoes are large cut them in half and butter the exposed sides before baking. Grease or butter the outside to help them brown. Soak in hot water for ten minutes to bake faster, then dry to prevent lowering oven temperature.
Kitchen Tips From Frugal Homemakers
Beets lose flavor if boiled too long. Boiled meats improve with a few drops of lemon juice or vinegar. Bread stays fresher longer with a little brown sugar in the bread box. Bread crumbs stay dry in a glass jar. Butter spreads more evenly when softened with a few drops of water or milk.
Cabbage or Cauliflower Cooking Tip: Bread Reduces Odor
A kitchen tip notes that placing a slice of bread in the water while cooking cabbage or cauliflower significantly alters the odor. The advice is practical for home cooks seeking milder kitchen aromas.
Cake Care Tips for Preventing Sticking and Burning
Guidance on greasing the pan and flouring to prevent sticking, using parchment to cover a top-burning cake, and options like asbestos pad or salt under the cake bottom to avoid burning. Also notes oranges to keep cake fresh longer, with incomplete ending.
Chocolate substitute: cocoa and butter mix proposed
A reader suggestion claims cocoa with a little butter makes an excellent chocolate substitute. The note implies simple ingredients can yield a rich, usable flavor alternative for dessert preparations.
Kitchen Tips For Freshening And Whipping Foods
Freshening tip for coconut suggests soaking in sweet milk. Coffee can be clarified by raw egg shells and a dash of cold water to settle it. Corned beef flavor improves with a teaspoon of vinegar during cooking. Cream gains slight sourness from lemon juice and lasts longer with powdered sugar in the bottle. Chilled, aged cream whips better and may whip easier with unbeaten egg white or lemon juice.
Peeling Tip to Remove Cucumber Bitterness
A kitchen tip notes to peel cucumbers from the end opposite the stem to reduce bitterness, peeling toward the stem for best results.
Custard Substitutes For Egg Based Texture
A kitchen tip explains using half a teaspoon of corn starch per egg as a substitute. For a crispy bottom, heat milk to a boil before adding the eggs to the mixture.
Cranberries Learnings for Straining Cooking Flavor
A note advises straining cranberries while hot to preserve vitamins. It recommends sugar at 1 to 8 and water at 1 to 4 of berries. Adding a few thin cranberry slices during cooking can reduce bitterness and enhance flavor.
Recital Spotlight Features Ives McKay Pianist Role
Mrs Ives McKay served as pianist throughout the recital with tireless pupil rehearsal benefiting the program. Mrs Hanson prepared costumes and choreographed dances including two intermission numbers Night and Day and Memphis Stomp. Donna Rabenold won a prize for selling the most tickets, while Joan Fields was runner up.
